Center caps to use with C5 wagon wheels and long wheel studds

I ended up buying my roomate's extra set of wheels/tires he had, and ditching my Konigs (time for a change).

I need to get center caps, but that's the problem.

Fronts, no biggie, as I could run the stock C5 wagon wheel caps.

Rear: I run long ARP wheel studds with open-end lugnuts. The Wagon Wheel caps go over the lug nuts; there is no way they could go on due to the long wheel studds.

I tried to see if the center caps off of my roomate's Z06 wheels would work, but they don't clip on the same (as the Z06 cap has exposed lug nuts).

Now I'm not sure what to do. As a last-ditch efford, I'll just not run caps out back (won't look too bad since I have Moser axles), but I'd rather do it right.

I would run both front and rear w/o centercaps, those wheels will def. make it look like a sleeper! What is the finish on the wagon wheels? Are you running chrome lugs?

Ehhh...I'm not overly fond of how they look without the center caps. They are chrome.

I may just run them next year, and buy ANOTHER set the year after that.

you can always shorten the studs a little and use open-end lug nuts so they can see the stud comes throught it,allowing you to retain the center caps.
